Hi. just created 2 sites using buddy press
http://callcenterblogs.com
Okay, a couple of questions:
1. Which version of BuddyPress are you using?
2. What did you name the file?
3. Where did you place it?
Hi I you read this please know that this is the only way for me to communicate with Buddypress forum. I am cannot create any new post. I must be banded. I am not sure what I did wrong. You may be connected and tell the powers that. I have emailed Andy Peatling at his web contact form and I have had no response.
Just to show you: I created this post https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2092#post-11239 and it\’s non-existent as I create it. See if you can find it. It\’s an amazing shit feeling to be ignored even if buddypress is free.
This is how I did it.
I modified header.php in the buddypress theme AND the member theme.
There is probably a better way since the forums location is included as part of the integration, however it works, and you can use this principle to include a hard coded link to anywhere.
Find the bit of code that starts <div id="header">
The first bit is the routine to run the blogs page, the second opens up bbPress in a seperate tab.
`<?php if ( function_exists( ‘bp_blogs_install’ ) ) { ?>
<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_BLOGS_SLUG ) ) {?> class=”selected”<?php } ?>><a href=”<?php echo get_option(‘home’) ?>/<?php echo BP_BLOGS_SLUG ?>” title=”<?php _e( ‘Blogs’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?>”><?php _e( ‘Blogs’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?></a></li>
<?php } ?>
<li><a href=”http://www.mypartyonparty.biz/forums” target=”_blank” title=”<?php _e( ‘Support’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?>”><?php _e( ‘Support’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?></a></li>
<?php do_action( ‘bp_nav_items’ ); ?>`
What I’d like to do is present the forums in the same way that is done on here (BuddyPress.org, ) that just needs a bit of thinking about…
Hope that helps
I\’m abit confused on this, is it a buddypress API or what?
However, go for it ,any ETA?
Has anyone had an opportunity to look at this yet–or even begin developing with it.
Please remember, as this is not (yet?) an official BuddyPress package, you should post any issues you find with bp-skeleton-component-1_2_URC1 in this thread and not in trac.
Of course, trac would not even be the proper place to post any issues with the official version of the skeleton component. 
I smell iphone app in the works…
I have been trying to decide how to best deliver content to iphone users. I know most would be ok with the regular pages, but some want to feel special. The problem is my user base doesn’t have enough iphone users to warrent the extra development time for a free app.

Well, it seems like you have an issue, alright. Let’s go down the list once again:
- You’re working with a current trunk of both WPMU 2.7.1_beta1 (current: r1725) and BuddyPress 1.0_RC2 (current: r1324)
- You’re using an old copy of wp-config.php which you updated as appropriate. In other words, you did not use the wp-config-sample.php that came with WPMU 2.7.1.
- You did a clean install of WPMU 2.7.1_beta1 by deleting everything, except your updated version of wp-config.php, and then uploaded the unzipped Mu files
- You then launched WPMU’s admin screen. That worked with out any problems.
- You then went to Site Admin > Upgrade and finished the upgrade
- You logged out of WPMU
- Next, you installed BuddyPress by:
- moving the contents of the unzipped BuddyPress 1.0_RC2 (r1324) to the WPMU plugins directory into a subdirectory called /buddypress/
- moving the /bp-themes/ directory out of the /buddypress/ directory
- placing the various themes in their proper locations
- You then logged back into WPMU and got a blank screen
A few follow up questions:
9. You’ve enabled error reporting as detailed above by John and Burt and after step 8 above, there are absolutely no errors being reported of any kind.
A few thoughts:
- Since this seems to be a test install and you do not have any content that needs saving, I would delete everything once again.
- This also means deleting your MySQL table that you’ve been using for this attempt and starting with a brand new database.
- I would then download the latest trunks of both WPMU and BuddyPress once again–>get rid of the old ones first.
- I would then use the wp-config-sample.php file that comes with the latest WPMU trunk and configure as necessary
- IMPORTANT: I believe when I downloaded the WPMU trunk (r1722) and looked at the wp-config-sample.php file, it had a trailing space after the closing php tag. You need to delete this!
- Now, go through steps 1 through 7 again and let’s hope when you get to step 8 it works!
I don’t think you are seeing the errors that are happening. The error log is the apache error log for your webserver. In most cases the php errors and warnings get sent there.
You said you asked your host to give you a backup and got back all the old tables. Try installing wpmu from scratch. Start with a fresh database that is empty. Install and test wpmu with the new database. Then install and activate bp.
anyone else having issues with IE 6 and the “buttons”
i.e.
accept friends
deny friend
etc
– they all display far right and cause a big scroll bar..
– so the user doesnt know they’re their
(damn you IE 6)
Version 1.1. should appear shortly on https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/welcome-pack/. In addition to working with the latest BuddyPress, it also lets you specify more than one person/group as the default friends/groups.

Very nice!
I will investigate this for one of our projects. It could help with something we’ll be working on next month.

OK – what I did now:
1. I deleted everything that is, keeping the wp-config.php
2. WPMU works, I could delete blogs, create new ones
3. I copied the BP-Components per ftp in plugins/buddypress (which I created anew)
4. BLANK – everywhere
5. NO entry in the PHP-Log at all
6. Deleted the BP-COmponents per FTP, WPMU works again just fine
I guess the activation of the activated BP-Plugin (as descriped above…) caused somehow a DB-Messup.
if i were you, i would reinstall wpmu & bp keeping the wp-config.php
Is this the code to one of the top buttons you mean in the header.php
<?php if ( function_exists( ‘bp_blogs_install’ ) ) { ?>
<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_BLOGS_SLUG ) ) {?> class=”selected”<?php } ?>>/<?php echo BP_BLOGS_SLUG ?>” title=”<?php _e( ‘Blogs’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?>”><?php _e( ‘Blogs’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?>
<?php } ?>

@Felix2009 I really like the blue! 
I’ve been working on Squidoosphere.com. Will probably do a re-launch within the next few days after I clean up the test posts.
And a BIG Thanks to the BuddyPress developers! BuddyPress was just what I was wishing for!
Cheers!
John James, thanks for your “hack”. At least I was able to get to the backend with it. There it gave me Pages of error when I tried to start the plugins overview… I guess, since it is a very simple Test-Install – I’ll ask my provider to give me the backup. Or I delete everything (the messed up DB too) and start again…
Thanks for the hint about the upgrade – I will do that in the future.
Thanks for everyone who tried real hard…

I am running MAMP on a mac OS, I followed andys instuctions in a former post, I have a custom theme that I used so I copied the functions files to the members theme as per the instuctions as well as the functions from the home theme to my home theme.
https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1994
It is not a cache issue or cookies or anything, it physically was not loading the style sheet which is stored in bp-themes/bp-members/css/directories.css, I got it working by putting the name into the loader.php file which is stored in the same place.
what I need now though is the header.php that is called within the groups/index.php and members/index.php because they are now stored in bp-themes/bp-members it calls the wrong header
The only way to do this, is with “deep integration.”
You will want to scour the bbpress.org forums for some more information about how to do this.
I’m going to assist Trent in including deep integration as part of his revised integration write-up that’s coming next. BuddyPress.org uses deep integration, but it’s still tricky and still has pro’s and con’s, particularly on a shared host and also with xmlrpc requests.
By the time that bbpress turns 1.0, most of the integration issues should be resolved, but you’re still loading ALL of WordPress + bbPress to make things go.
Akismet does work for WPMU, bbPress, etc… Akismet does not however work site-wide, only on a blog by blog basis, exactly like you’ve mentioned, even if your site isn’t making money.
Akismet is not a WPMU site-wide plugin, and to use it site wide currently requires the enterprise version.
What OS are you running locally, and what browser? I’ve installed the trunk versions of both WPMU and BuddyPress on two local installs so far, and haven’t experienced these issues.
When you say that directories.css wasn’t being loaded, was it 404’ing or was it just not mentioned at all?
I’m not on my laptop at the moment so I can’t see where directories.css is included normally.
When you updated, did you DELETE your old files and upload your new ones? Delete browser cache, site cookies, etc…
As i didnt like the orange colors in BuddyPress, i did a slightly little make over …

And yes .. I did integrate bbPress in the current theme with a few minor steps
